Explanation:
With great power comes great responsibility.” I’m guessing 4 out of 5 people would attribute this quote to Ben Parker, uncle of Peter Parker, from the Spider-Man movies and comic books.
Research into this quote’s origin finds that it can be attributed to a host of historically significant events and people, including Voltaire, Winston Churchill, and both President Roosevelts. (Sorry, Spidey.) Historically, the unattributed quote dates back to the French Revolution. The following passage appeared with a date of May 8, 1793 in a collection of the decrees made by the French National Convention, which translated is:
They must consider that great responsibility follows inseparably from great power.”
Pre-dating, if you will, all of this is a Biblical verse, Luke 12:48, of which the King James translation is:
“For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.”
The quote is so popular most likely because of the simple wisdom behind it. This column started with a comic book quote so let’s ask mygeekwisdom.com the meaning behind it:
“A lot of people think that, once they have some form of power, they can usually lord it over people and abuse it. History has a lot of people showing them becoming corrupted because of great power: Napoleon and Hitler are just a couple to name a few. Even in a small scale, we do see powerful people beat down on the weaker ones. Bullies, abusive spouses, and corrupt politicians are just a few examples of the kinds of people we see every day that use their power the wrong way.
